On the web UI, something I’d like to see is the various front ends people are making to be folded either into a user setting where you can select from a list or provided as different end points like old.reddit or, as lemmy.world has done, m.lemmy.world, or as lemmings.world with old.lemmings.world.
There’s wefwef/voyager, alexandrite.app (for desktop, using it right now, see !alexandrite@lemmy.world ), the standard, and I’m sure a few others that many would be happy to use right now. And it would be awesome if you could just use which ever you like whenever. Also a wonderful demonstration of what FOSS can bring to the table.
Alexandrite is an interesting development. Being able to choose from multiple UIs is nice, but mostly we just need to have good defaults that appeal to a broad audience.
That’s again assuming Lemmy wants to pursue growth of course. If Lemmy wants to optimize for existing users who prefer things the way they are, that’s a different story.
Well, arguable the way the fediverse grows and survives is through options, freedom and flexibility. Defaults matter, of course, but you can’t make everyone happy all the time.
